Understanding Self and Others Through EPP's Compassionate Curriculum

9P1K is an eight week course. Participants explore the Enneagram of Personality to learn what is "right" about them. The coursework provides the opportunity to come away with a deeper and more compassionate understanding of why "we do what we do" by recognizing personality as an intelligent survival system learned in childhood and carried into adulthood in ways that can be both productive and self-limiting. Participants will come away empowered with the important knowledge of self-knowing, which creates opportunities for greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion. 

EPP Quality Education - IEA Accredited School

9PrisonsONEKey (9P1K) is the first program in EPP’s International Enneagram Association (IEA) Accredited Training Program, and a component of how we train potential “guides” to teach EPP’s compassionate curriculum in prisons and jails around the world. While 9P1K is open to all who are interested in deepening their understanding of self and others through a progressive unfolding of EPP’s compassionate curriculum, please note that it is a prerequisite for those who wish to apply to EPP’s Guide Training Program, regardless of previous Enneagram training, certifications, or background.

“It’s not just difficult to do ‘the work’ alone, it’s impossible.”
– George Ivanovich Gurdjieff

At EPP one of our core values is that we do the work together. ​

At EPP we are building compassionate community to do the work together. Hundreds of people have graduated 9P1k this year and we are adding to our community every day!
We know the importance of a compassionate community and a safe space to this deep work required for transformation. We also know that the Enneagram is for everyone. With this in mind, we have decided to bring our course curriculum previously taught “on the inside” to the public domain.
​
9PrisonsONEKey (9P1K) is EPP’s comprehensive, foundational approach to the Enneagram. 9P1K is being offered virtually to participants from around the globe. Facilitated by EPP Guides, 9P1K illuminates how we are all in a prison of our own making in the ways that we suffer our personality, and makes clear that we all hold the key to our freedom.

9P1K is a 45-hour International Enneagram Association (IEA) accredited training program.

The Enneagram is an incisive self-awareness tool for personal transformation and spiritual growth. For those who have studied the Enneagram of Personality, we know that it provides a clear roadmap to understanding why we do the things we do.

At EPP we begin our journey of self-discovery with the fundamental approach that there is nothing wrong with you, and that each of us is already whole. Using the Enneagram as a systematic map of nine essential qualities to remember what is right about us, we learn to see the patterned ways in which we are so self-forgetting.

Why would you recommend this course?

"I love the diversity of the group… and really appreciate the young people on the panels and seeing a whole new generation learn about the Enneagram."

A Profound Path to Self-Awareness

Participants will come away with a deeper and more compassionate understanding of both self and others. EPP recognizes personality as an intelligent survival system, learned in childhood, and carried into our adulthoods in ways that can be both productive and self-limiting. You will come away empowered with the most important knowledge that exists – self-knowing – which will create opportunities for greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion.

Type panels include a deep teaching and exploration on the nine specific Enneagram types as well as the three Centers of Intelligence.
​
Please note: To experience deeper learning, participants are asked to attend ALL 8 live cohort sessions and complete pre-recorded teaching and type panel videos (via the LMS) prior to each session.

9P1K FAQ's

What did you appreciate about the course?

"That it is teaching both the ‘what’ AND the ‘how’, in other words that it includes lots of embedded ‘loop input’ where we are learning not just about the Types, etc. but all kinds of subtle practical techniques that need to be deployed when working with people (in prison). I also love the clear dedication of everybody on board to the project; their level of self-awareness and the sheer diversity of all the participants.

I love that it has a little bit of everything: written content, visual summaries, videos, a chat forum; opportunities for self-study and collaboration/discussion. It caters to all learner types, which I think is important."

– Fatime Losonci, Mexico

    "9P1K is a blessing that represents my new beginning, my work toward self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-appreciation, and self-love. 9P1K offers me a second chance at living life as God has always intended, the connection of our spirits one to another moving in harmony with His spirit. Acceptance of one another and loving each other. No guilt. No shame. No judgment. No pain. Free. 9P1K is introducing me to my true self, the person God has intended me to be from the beginning of time. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me! I/she/her can hear the chains falling. Ahh. Finally!"

    "This [Enneagram} program is different in that the focus is on what is right and beautiful about each of us. The Narrative Tradition, where Types speak for themselves, was incredibly powerful to witness through this lens of "what's right". Watching the panel discussions, I felt a deep sense of oneness with all of the types, not just my own, and was able to appreciate all of the incredible gifts I can bring to the world when I am able to be present to my own inherent preciousness. Thank you 9 Prisons 1 Key for helping me along the path to freedom!"

    "I recently completed the 9PrisonsONEKey program presented online by the Enneagram Prison Project (EPP). Our class consisted of people new to the enneagram, those who had a basic understanding of the enneagram, and those who have studied and worked with the enneagram for many years. The program was expertly taught, facilitated, and presented through narrative tradition panels."

    "My experience with the 9 Prisons One Key project has been so incredible and eye opening. While being a part of it I was able to learn so much more about myself and become much more in tune with why I feel or do the things I do. As a teenager it is very easy to feel alone or feel like you are not enough and this experience has shown me how special and unique every person is and that we all have strengths in our personalities and to not be ashamed of the parts of our personalities that we may not enjoy as much. I have loved getting the opportunity to be vulnerable and learn so much and grow as a human being so that we can also open our eyes to see other people in a new light to accept every person for who they are and appreciate the presence they bring."

    "The 9PrisonsONEKey workshop was an amazing journey. In a relatively short amount of time I was able to develop a much
    ​deeper understanding of all of the types, thanks to Susan's teaching, the amazing panels she put together, and the community of people in the workshop. One life changing result of this workshop is that I am learning to identify when I am in my essence and when I am not. I am also learning to come back to myself, stay with myself and love myself through all of the ups and downs of life. I now have such a rich understanding of why we all do what we do, which is invaluable. It has helped me to develop compassion for myself and for others in a whole new way. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone. It has touched my heart and my life in such a profound way."
